A year later I still had not become the world's greatest sport kite pilot (what a shock).

But I did put out a photo album book: "My First Year In Kiting".

All photos were taken with my first digital camera costing $900 used (Nikon 900s 1 MP).

Each copy cost over $35 to print and I may have sold 25 to 50 copies at $50 with all

profits going into the purchase of the next kite (addict spoken here).

Bambi was cleaning out a bookshelf and found our author's proof copy.

I went through the book reading signatures (Tim Benson, Mark Reed, Ken McNeill, David Gomberg, Dennis Fishback, etc).

I was so young at 53.

My thanks to those of you who ponied up the big bucks to a young upstart who thought he knew everything. :)

I found a .ppt version of the book (no signatures and only 1 corrupt photo). It's about 17 MB. If anyone would like a copy,

send an email to me and hopefully it should go through.

Oops, looks like there are several photos that have corrupted over time. Who knew electrons got old?

Allen Carter:
I still have your book, and was happy to pose kites for you way back then , and now.

I would have liked to have seen that, John. Just a couple years early for me, though I've enjoyed the posters and calendars since.

You can email me a copy, please, at your convenience.Thanks.
